Advanced Web Application Security
Hands-on DWR
This presentation digs into many advanced DWR features such as Reverse Ajax and the JavaScript proxy APIs. We start with a simple web-based multiplayer game, and illustrates how straightfoward it is to create advanced effects with minimal coding. By demonstrating advanced page manipulation and server-based control of browsers, the game shows how to update any web application to react to server changes. We will look at how DWR integrates with other Ajax libraries like TIBCO GI, Scriptaculous, and the Open Ajax Hub.
Advanced Web Application Security
The security landscape has changed dramatically in the past 12 months. Unless you are aware of CSRF, JavaScript Highjacking, and the many ways to fool an XSS filter, it's likely that your web application will not be secure. Attackers used to concentrate on ActiveX, but now JavaScript, CSS and even simple HTML elements are used against websites. This session will outline the challenges facing the inhabitants of this strange world called 'web 2.0' and the options or protection, both from the point of view of site owners, and web users.
